Written for Ginny Billhimer as a thanks for her Kickstarter donation. Ginny has housed and fed us numerous times. She has always been a big time PM supporter/encourager. She also happens to be Ben’s mom.
We wrote and recorded most of this one night in Andrew’s room. The following day we finished bass, guitar and bgv’s.
Fun fact.. the tree on the album cover is the tree outside of our band house.
We like how this turned out and wanted to throw it out there.. hope you guys like it too.
lyrics:
sunnyside’s the place to be
under azalea trees
she’d say
came to the spring one evening
there she was singing away
we tried singing the same
give us the words to say
or let us lay down and try another day
we could stay up late
then wake up new and get along our way
then there’s the day the tree fell down
the city was blackin out that night
then 3am it came and went
and with the new light we left from sight
makin what we do feel right

“Kill It Cut It Down” Video. On our most recent tour, we stopped by Orlando’s North Avenue Studio and filmed a live in-studio video for the title track off our latest record. It sounds and looks awesome. Mad props to all at North Ave! Stay tuned for the release of another song from this session in the near future..
Everything Is Working Out Fine In Some Town Japanese Version Limited Release. About a year ago we released our 2008 full length in Japan via ThisTime Records. The packaging is different from the US version, and features bonus tracks No Comfort, Drop Me A Line, Little Did You Know. If you’re a fan of this album, then don’t miss chance to own a PM rarity! But don’t delay, we only have 9 available (we kept the other 5 they shipped for our personal stash)! Go to http://blog.parachutemusical.com/import on Tuesday, Dec 6th for info on how to pick one up.
Kill It Cut It Down Free Sampler. Here’s a great way to turn your friends on to our latest album. It’s 3 songs from the record, for free, in exchange for an email (so we can tell your friends when we’re coming to play their town). Get/share the sampler here.
Google Music. You can now find our discography at the newly launched Google Music Marketplace. If you’re an Android user, go pick up some tracks!
That’s all for now. Enjoy the holiday times and we’ll see you guys soon!
